I am looking for the Horstead family, James 1816 Norfolk, Mary Ann 1811 Middx, Jane 1838 Middx, Edward J 1840 Middx. They should be in Stepney or Wapping. I have trawled every street in Wapping (where Edward was born) no show. I have gone through most of the streets in Stepney until my head aches. Is there any way I can do a wild card search with the word Stead at the end of a name please? OR any other suggestions welcome (only those not involving voluntarily euthanasia please)

No, I havent got the energy Jess, Ive actually got two big red marks either side of my nose from wearing hubbys glasses cos I cant find mine and I am totally peed off looking for this lot for over 3 hours - why is it always my b*******s who disappear. Im off to the Thai take away restaurant down the road and will stuff my face to cheer myself up. Catch you later. As confusius say 'May your bikini line wax stick your bum to the loo seat'

Hi guys, thanks for looking but Ive also been through every Edward born 1840 + or - 2 years and no joy. I think that areas must be missed off.
